Junkit let's you automatically sell junk and other things to vendors the second you open up their inventory as well as auto repair your gear. It has kinda fallen into disrepair and gets errors fairly often, but nothing stops it from still working for the most part.
Honestly I've lost track of any DBM equivalents outside of Raidcore for, well raids. Dungeon-wise I'm not sure what, if anything, is available.
There are multiple damage meters worth using at the moment, you can honestly just go shopping for one on Curse and be okay.
If you don't want to go looking though, I use NexusMeter personally.
Should probably pair it with ThreatMeter while you're at it so that you don't piss off any tanks.

Not auto. You can repair all and vendor all trash easily without any mods. The mod just does it automatically as soon as you click a vendor, if that sounds useful to you.

I like having to press the button though, it feels nice to have a ritual to do after a good play session

>>145486276
I suppose vanilla doesn't go all the way, it auto-sells junk after you hit F on the vendor, not when you click it

I actually haven't had to repair yet but I guess that's because gear drops pretty often

Many reviews call Wildstar the "most fair" F2P MMO ever. You can experience absolutely everything while free, and you're not truly handicapped while free. Being a subscriber gets you extra boosts and perks, but it's not enough to really stop you.

Now my next question, do you HAVE to pay to look good? Are there good looking, say, mid-game dungeon drops?
>>
>>145489507
I haven't looked at many leveling armor sets but my favorite Medic armor is just from pvp
Most endgame sets are from rep grinds or bought after killing bosses/completing dungeons
As far as I know, store currency is gained slowly ingame and paying $$$ is just a shortcut, and there's not a single store costume I like anyway
Oh and you get a costume for your path too, plus you unlock pieces across your whole account
>>
>>145489507
I've got like, 7 different costumes and besides a couple weapon costumes I bought in the store with Omnibits they're like 95% normal drops.
>>
>>145489507
No, most of the sets you buy in the store look like shit desu. Though I really like some of the weapon sets. None of my outfits across all my characters use anything store bought except for Shade's Eve Dyes but they're just poorfag alternatives to colors you can get ingame.

Most of the store cosmetics that are decent are mounts and stuff. And the normal mounts available suit me fine, at least. Though I did get the DeLorean hoverboard because that's the shit.
>>
How is the EU population? Or should I just go on NA instead?

>>145490418
>Got the z88

>>
Huh. I'm convinced. Gonna hop on. Lastly, which class is more fun/versatile, Esper or Spellslinger?
>>
Should I be using my lesser runes? I get new gear constantly and removing runes costs gold

I guess they're worthless anyway so I might as well just use them
>>
>>145490819
What you have to understand is that every single class in the game is flexible. All six classes can do damage; Espers, Spellslingers and Medics can heal, while Engineers, Stalkers and Warriors can tank.

That said, some folks around here say that playing a Spellslinger will spoil the fuck out of you and make Espers feel unfun.
>>
>>145490819
spellslinger is a better esper
>>
>>145491070
>>145491026
Magic cowboy it is.
>>
>>145491070

The only things Esper does better than Slinger is have pets and lifesteal like a god.
Slinger's more mobile, has better interrupts, and looks cooler
>>
>>145490937
anyone runes you get before 50 are shit and can be used on whatever you want, but I think you can also salvage them, and signs of [Element] are always useful, but also you might end up with a few thousand of them anyway

Housing is hands-down one of Wildstar's biggest, most prominent and defining features. You can build conceivably anything in housing.
>>
>>145492234
So much so that one of the professions, Architect, is specifically about making decor for housing.
>>
>>145492143
no, that's for trading in tokens from before runes got revamped

if you can't salvage them from your inventory you can't salvage them, my apologies I wasn't sure about that

I just remembered being flooded with elemental signs, but I think it's because they buffed what you get from salvaging random gear drops

He meant that you can get them from salvaging gear you don't need.
There's really no point in not just making runes at the station with whatever fragments you have on hand though.
Runes are really strong and you can't use the lesser fragments for higher quality gear.
Trading them up isn't worth it and the other resource from crafting runes, the elements, are stupid common so just stop by the rune crafting station when you're in your capital city and make whatever you can.
>>

>>145492832
thanks friends
>>
>>145492234
Housing, for what it's worth, is also a major contributor to the RP scene, since you can (mostly) freely visit other people's plots, even if the player is not there.
>>
>>145494037
RPers also claim credit for leading to the creation of the holo-wardrobe, which lets you wear whatever you want as your costume, even if your class can't actually equip that item.
>>
>>145491846
The costume system is better now but it's confusing as fuck

pls steal wildstar's housing next
>>
>>145496614
>>145496019
Different devs have said that you either can or can't transmog to armor types you can't wear. I have a bad feeling they won't allow it because of >muh silhouettes.
I guess Wildstar doesn't have that problem because the races are so different from each other. But wasn't that WoW's excuse too? I don't know anymore
>>
>>145496778
If they took Wildstar's housing, then that would easily put WoW back in the limelight.

Thing is housing has been "in the works" since before vanilla, but it never happened.

Garrisons don't count.
>>
>>145497198
That's one of the excuses. It's supposed to be immediately obvious what type of class a character is just by looking at their armor. In Wildstar, it's different: you can see what weapons they have to tell what class they are.

You're better off repairing when your gear is actually broken as you level because you will most likely replace it before it fully breaks. Save the cash.

Unless you're capped and already have good gear, then have at it.

>>145489507
All the gear that drops? You can save it to your account wide holo-wardrobe to use in costumes. All gear beyond weapons has dye channels as well.
>>145490534
Assume it's shit because we don't hear much from Eurobros.
>>145490937
Shove 'em into whatever gear while leveling. You'll be drowning in useless runes and all the lesser items to craft decent runes at cap. Arcterra bosses all drop runes and you'll amass plenty while trying to grind for gear, the trinkets, or mount.

Challenges are indeed unrelated to quests. However, completing enough challenges well enough give you the opportunity to earn free stuff. Plus, once you earn enough points and claim all rewards, the track restarts, meaning you can immediately earn new rewards.

Once is enough to get the talent point.

High level crafts give many more vouchers, and considering you'll be spending most of your time at max level those materials are often what you'll have the most of. So I doubt it's worth the effort at low levels.

>>
>>145518074
Both of those moves are actually incredibly useful.

>Projected Spirit
This is the Esper leap. It's kind of shit but it does the job of moving you from point A to B. Use it to get away from dangerous stuff (with a little heal), jump over gaps you couldn't normally, or use it at the last second from a big fall to negate fall damage.

>Shockwave
This is a very reliable interrupt. When an enemy is making telegraphs, you can slap them with this to get a moment of opportunity. Pair it with Crush and you can break higher armor targets. Barring that it's also a knockback, for a ranged class you can see how that's useful.
>>
>>145519497
yeah, I'm sorry, I can see how they're useful but I should've said the context was dungeon healing

Projected works as an escape but mispositioning yourself to heal doesn't seem worth it when Reverie exists

Shockwave I guess is another interrupt vs bosses but against mobs you'd be shoving them around and breaking up groups

If I'm wrong though please let me know
>>
>>145508191
And male humans. Or so I've heard.
>>
>>145520209
Yeah, shockwave has that problem. Try to push them into a wall. Lots of mobs have more than one interrupt armor, and it won't push them if they still have armor when it hits so jam it first before crush.

As for Projected, I don't really heal but said heal is more incidental. The real reason to use it is to move, if you don't need that take something else.

They vary. Sometimes they're subpar because of their range, but they're usually pretty good because of mending probes.

They also do very good dps.

Well, I've been totally sucked into this game.

I didn't get into it much in Beta but now I've been really loving it.

My worst issue is being unable to decide between two class/builds!
>>
>>145542520
Which ones are you choosing? I mean, everything's fun and viable, but we might be able to help out.
>>
>>145542651
I really like a Utility-Warrior, just normal DPS but with Power Link and a 8 point Emergency Reserves to boost group shields (which seems like a rare ability). Probably sneak in another AMP or skill to help boost utility.

Other is Esper, I'm pretty good with mostly heal-focus but I do like the Assault AMP herd of eye-monsters and the normal eye-monster, so would probably invest for them, to help DPS and keeping me alive.

I haven't made 20 yet with either, so still in early stages, but I hate doing content twice, so close together, so I'd like to pick one or the other.

I realize the Esper will probably get more groups as a healer, but the warrior seems like it may be more of a rare and useful commodity: Boosting DPS and shield-heals seem like something most classes don't have.
>>
I really don't want to be "that guy", but how is the player base looking? I thought wild star was "ded "gaem"
>>
>>145543224
You'd be getting even more pussy if you built a straight tank Engie.
>>
>>145543631
Steam numbers peaked at 5k. The game is actually rather busy now, and the players are confident the Steam launch has uplifted the game out of "ded" status.
>>
>>145543638
I'm not in it for the pussy though, I'm in it for playing what I enjoy and the Engineer didn't appeal to me the bit I played it.

I enjoy the "feel" of the Warrior and Esper, maybe I just like hitting things with swords (even brain swords). I also like bringing more than just DPS to the table.

This thread a few days ago recommended the Utility Warrior. I've enjoyed both so far though.
>>
>>145543931
What about a tank Warrior?
>>
>>145543631
The newbie zones have been fairly busy, but that doesn't really translate to much I guess.

>>145544070
You know, I hadn't thought of it. Maybe I should check it out.
>>
>>145544496
Really doesn't feel like it has the same rhythm I enjoy about assault/utility. Will try it out a bit more see if I can work on it.

Two questions:

1. If I buy the Lopp costume from the rotostar store, do I just always look like a lopp when I wear it?

2. Any way to make my silly Esper throwing star weapon invisible?

It's an item that goes into your inventory.
When you use it it gives you a buff that makes you look like a Lopp and gives you a dance ability.
Removing the buff reverts your form until you use it again, and it has a faster base run speed than you normally do.

>2
Not that I'm aware of.
It may as well be though, for how often you actually take it off your back in a fight.
>>
>>145546290
The Lopp is a toy costume as far as I know, you click it in the bag and it turns you into one.
You can't hide weapons, we Espers have shitty weapons until you get the Pinky from Avatus.
>>
>>145547874

>>
>>145547297
>>145547874
So I imagine combat kills the lopp disguise?

You'd think Espers could just turn off the weapon like other outfit pieces, I've never seen it used yet.
>>
>>145548159
>I've never seen it used yet.
Many Espers have complained about it on the forums, it's only "used" during one ability, and even then you just use psychic copies of your current weapon skin.
>>
>>145543224
Utility warrior tank is my favorite build in the game.

It really doesn't work if your DPS overgears the shit out of you. But as long as you aren't in quest greens and they're in DS gear it's okay. Remember that your R boosts threat too and the cooldown will be reduced by Power Link.

Also that the AMPs are out of date on this builder, but the positions are what's important.

>Is protogames academy supposed to be this hard...?

Yes, it's trying to train you to get good. There's a few things to pick up from it. The bosses do have a lot of health, IMO they could reduce it to account for the fact that everyone will suck at level 10, but it's high because they want you to learn what to do too.

Important lessons:
1) Interrupt boss telegraphs for moments of opportunity - This is one of the most important mechanics in the game. The enemy is stunned and takes 50% more damage.
2) Get the fuck out of the red stuff - Telegraphs, most of the time, aren't "whoops I got hit oh well", they're "fuck I got hit I'm dead". Do not think your healer can keep you alive if you keep tanking them, because if everyone is even-geared for an instance they don't have time to spend on it.
3) SPRINT - You can sprint in combat too! Hold shift. Very important for getting out of red stuff.
4) Dash - Doubletap a direction to dash. Also very important for getting out of red.
